PayrollHero Swimming With Whale Sharks, Oslob, Philippines
Some of the PayrollHero team went swimming with whale sharks in Oslob, Philippines this past weekend. Oslob is about a three and a half hour drive from Cebu which is the second largest city in the Philippines. At the whale shark area of Oslob, you pay about $50 (including transportation) to get into the water and swim with 8 to 20 whale sharks. The number changes each day. You can see a quick video below that shows how massive these sharks are:
At PayrollHero we work to hire what we call #AdventureEngineers. Basically team members who want to work hard and play hard. Check out our Adventure Engineer interview video below:

Makati; The Selfiest City in the World According to TIME
According to TIME Magazine, Makati, Philippines is the “selfiest city in the world”.
“An examination of hundreds of thousands of selfies—the low-fi, self-shot photographs that are intensely popular among younger social media users—suggests that the city, part of metropolitan Manila and home to 500,000 people, produces more selfies per capita than any other city in the world.” (source)
That is a great sign for PayrollHero’s selfie based TeamClocks.
